Talking in Parenthesis
Ramblings and angst from a mostly stay at home mom
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us. It is in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela

Three Things Thursday
Thought I would do my post on three family traditions in and around Christmas time.
1. We never ever put any decorations out until at least the first weekend of Dec. Nate's birthday is Nov 28 and I don't want his birthday to get lost in the madness.
2. I don't cook a traditional Christmas dinner. Instead we pick a favorite interactive dinner every year. We have done taco bar, mini pizzas, cheeseburgers (on the grill too, the weather in Denver is nutty this time of year). The point is to pick something we all love and that we get to assemble together. We jhave had soooo much fun since Ron and I have started this.
3. Before the kids go to bed on Christmas eve Ron first reads Twas The Night Before Christmas and then the Christmas story from the Bible. We started that for Brit's first Christmas.
